Weird Banding

[capitate]

Not sure why this happens on printers. It is really noticeable on this polyester material, but I've seen it on all vinyls. I had a Pro II in the past do this as well.

It's not your typical banding issue, and always happens towards one side of the printer (furthest from where the heads rest by chance?). Nozzles are firing fine.

that looks more like ink starvation. as it gets to the end of the pass the head is running out of ink, then when it resets for the next pass it starts fuller

We had this a few times and noticed it was only when the machine sat still first and it happened where the heaters sat idle warming the material right there, so we moved it ahead manually before the print started.
